Although the SDF-1 thread has been euthanized, Yamato has put up some more details about the 1/2000, including assembly details, marketing technobabble about how it's the first time anyone has made a prototype design available, and some pictures of the component pieces in the kit:

Hi guys -maybe there is a thread for this already - but are you aware of the VF-1S roy and hikaru reissues of the 1/60 line V2 - aparently they are a "plus" version... whatever that means... Link on HLJ site:http://www.hlj.com/product/YMT00179

If anything as a 'scoop' it only became available, I think as of a little while ago (like, today).

Probably just refering to the fact that they will come with the little Macross flashlight.

I'm guessing they're also V2.1's with the improved hip connector but Yamato may be saying "Plus" and leaving the "your shoulders won't break this time" implied. In fact, the different box seems to be a conscious recognition of the problems they had selling the VF-0S because no one was sure they were buying the version with shoulders that would already be broken.

no, it's the same old crotch system, hobby search has stock now. It makes me feel that they are basically clearing off old stock with new box and lights.

I cannot find any link on the net right now for some reason, but the Revoltechs out in the shops right now are being displayed with little strips advertising the February releases, one of which seems to be a reissue of their Regult. I think it's out on the 15th of Feb.

<i>Toynami </i>is following up their vinyl<b> 1/100 Tactical Pod</b> with a <i><b>Heavy Missile Launcher Type</b> </i>under their Robotech product banner, as revealed at the Toy Fair International trade show this week.

No other new Macross-related product from Toynami this year, although their Macross edition 1/100 Valkyries toys with FAST Packs combined sets were on display.
